"Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power."

"We would not have to forgive people if we didn't judge them in the first place."

"Just like that’s always time for pain, there’s always time for healing."

"I had found a kind of serenity, a new maturity... I didn't feel better or stronger than anyone else but it seemed no longer important whether everyone loved me or not - more important now was for me to love them. Feeling that way turns your whole life around; living becomes the act of giving."

"Real love takes work. You have to be willing to make the effort."
